Rangers fans may have historically been more likely to feel aligned with the English, but that was because they were protestants, not because of which football team they supported.

I strongly disagree with all of that. I personaly know loads of Scottish protestants who are staunchy pro independence and want nothing to do with London and England. I also know some Scottish catholics who want to remain part of Britain. Glasgow Rangers fans have always been pro British. They wave the British flag not the Scottish flag and they worship the British Royal family. Maybe that does involve religion up to a point but there is no way religion plays any part in the way the average Scot feels about independence. Football does because Glasgow Rangers supporters are the one identifiable sizeable demographic of the ordinary working class Scottish population who want their country to remain part of the UK.

PS I don't need any google links about the old firm. I lived in Scotland for 20 years and went to matches all over the country and still follow Scottish football to this day.
